Hundreds gather in East Harlem to raise money for Puerto Rico

EAST HARLEM, Manhattan — The night was called Boricuas Unidos or Boricuas United.

Hundreds gathered in East Harlem for a Puerto Rican relief fund raiser with lots of style, Salsa and substance.

There was incredible performances of dancing, poetry and comedy all for a cause near and dear to all those in attendance:

“It was a devastation hurricane. This is something we have got to do for our community,” Violeta Galagarza, the Boricuas United organizer, told PIX11. “Puerto Rico is my life. I’m Puerto Rican. Nuorican. My blood runs as a Puerto Rican."
